“This facility is a key milestone for the development and a significant step forward for Granton’s local residents which is long overdue.”
Developers are planning a 340-berth marina at Granton, more than 100 retirement living apartments, 440 homes and a 187-room hotel with spa, fitness centre and conference and banqueting facility.
